< span style="font-size:14px;">sunflower reserves at the level of 3.226 million tons will provide processors with raw materials for about 2 more months, so some plants will finish the season ahead of schedule. More and more processors plan to increase rapeseed processing in the new season, but it will not be possible to significantly increase processing volumes, since high demand prices from the EU will increase competition between processors and exporters, and rapeseed production is projected to be only 2.6-2.8 million tons.
an increase in sunflower production in the new season to 16.5-17.5 million tons against the background of record high prices will allow us to fully provide raw materials to domestic plants with an annual processing capacity of 23 million tons. < / p>
